Evelyn watched in astonishment as her old friend’s punch landed.
With that punch, the umbilical cords disintegrated instantly. It was like erasing pencil marks on white paper with an eraser’s violent stroke.
Tokugawa Stream was filled with terror, and that was his final expression.
Albert said:
"Although most mutants are unfortunate souls... there are quite a few mutants who actually had good lives but lacked the ability to feel love."
"The one I just killed is such a case."
Evelyn agreed. As the unquestionably strongest of the Desire Tower, she could sense the resentment emanating from Tokugawa Stream.
She could finely perceive the reasons behind the formation of those emotions.
"You’ve become much stronger than before, Albert," Evelyn said.
"Of course, I’m aiming to conquer all one hundred levels, my goddess," Albert teased Evelyn.
Evelyn said:
"Old Jin still doesn’t dare to meet you."
Albert shrugged:
"Then I’ll just keep waiting. This massive consumption event isn’t simple. How long has it been since the mutant phase started, and large-scale occurrences are already beginning."
Evelyn understood what her old friend was implying:
"It’s regrettable that under our governance, there are so many unfortunate people. But Albert, I don’t involve myself in these matters. Though I am one of the elders, I’ve always... just been a nostalgic woman."
Albert sighed and did not respond. After a while, he said:
"Let’s go, there are other mutants waiting for us to eliminate."
...
...
The bottom level of the Bunker.
Not long ago, the recently mutated Raphinha faced an ambush.
When Raphinha’s body was restrained by the iron chains of the elite Security Bureau members...
Having narrowly escaped, Matthew began to act arrogantly, shouting for Raphinha’s execution.
Handling Raphinha were the warriors from the sixth division of the Bunker Security Bureau.
Though they didn’t have the attributes panel of the Slaughter Tower, they successfully trapped Raphinha with their superior weaponry.
Under intense fire suppression, Raphinha couldn’t "consume humans," and thus couldn’t evolve.
Matthew shouted:
"Kill him! Kill him!"
But suddenly, he stopped shouting.
Because Xun Hui had punched Matthew’s head off. Quite literally, a bare-handed head explosion.
There was nothing left on Matthew’s neck, and in the next instant, his body lost balance and fell to the ground.
This scene stunned everyone. The Security Bureau warriors even thought Xun Hui had mutated.
Unconcerned, Xun Hui said:
"You explain."
He was talking to Wenren Mirror, who sighed and said:
"I just told you... that the person who turned that child into a monster was the one shouting, but you shouldn’t have killed him directly."
Xun Hui coldly responded:
"He deserved to die because he became a monster. But if those who turn others into monsters don’t die, won’t there be even more monsters?"
"I know the nature of people like him well. Once they survive, they brag to others that not even monsters can kill them, and they will bully even more people arrogantly!"
Wenren Mirror didn’t argue. Xun Hui was too upright, believing in a world where victims should not die while perpetrators live.
Xun Hui said:
"Kill that monster, and let’s continue our patrol."
Matthew’s headless body served as a form of deterrence. At this moment, there was complete silence around.
...
...
Mutants began appearing continuously in the Bunker in an instant.
Not only in the lower levels, but the middle levels also started seeing a large number of mutants.
Fortunately, people had some confidence in the massive consumption. Everyone was afraid, but deep down, there was some assurance.
The number of mutants was indeed many, but with the Three Towers Academy, the Bunker Security Bureau, the Stonemason Guild, Xishu Divine Teaching, and the powerful experts on the Celestial Ladder List...
Whether through overwhelming firepower or sheer force...
The number of mutants, initially increasing... gradually began to decline.
However, people did not cheer for this.
Because the most terrifying thing in the Bunker was not the mutants.
This was just the first stage, where the Bunker’s combat strength was still enough to handle it. The second stage would be the real massive consumption.
At that time, people would face threats far beyond just mutants.
Wen Xishu, Xiaojin, Yue Yun, and Zheng Zai, among others, did not participate in the mutant eradication.
They sat in the safe house, awaiting the arrival of the vortex.
"The principal is really terrifying... how can he be so powerful, along with those other elders."
Zheng Zai, looking at the current mutant kill statistics, genuinely felt the terror of the old Legend, Albert.
No wonder people said the last massive consumption in the Bunker was almost single-handedly turned around by Albert.
Up to this point, four hours had passed since the large-scale emergence of mutants, with a total of three hundred and twenty-nine mutants appearing.
Albert’s record stood at one hundred and thirty-seven.
In other words, the massively powerful Bunker Security Bureau, Xishu Divine Teaching, Stonemason Guild, the five elders, and the experts on the Celestial Ladder List combined... probably equaled Albert’s performance.
This was the first time Wen Xishu truly understood that the old principal’s real strength was enough to make him invincible in the Bunker.
However, they didn’t have much time to admire the terrifying combat prowess of the old principal.
Because the second stage of the massive consumption, the most dreadful stage—
The vortex, was arriving.
At this moment, the safe house began analyzing the possible scenarios within each vortex.
Wen Xishu turned around and said to Zheng Zai, Ah Miao, Yue Yun, and others:
"It’s our turn to take the stage, everyone!"
